- Governor Mai Mala Buni has also directed the development of a 500-kilometre network of rural roads and other infrastructure aimed at connecting all 178 wards in Yobe with viable access routes
The Yobe State government has announced plans to build a 197-kilometre road, termed the “Green Line,” to enhance farmers’ access to markets and promote food security.
The project is part of the state’s Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) and will connect multiple communities across Yobe. According to the project coordinator, Arc Musa Suleh Damagum, the road will run from Garin Alkali in Bade to Mutai in Gujba, crossing the federal road at Ngelzarma and covering all three senatorial zones in the state.
“This road, which we termed ‘The Green Line,’ crosses all the three senatorial zones in the state and will provide farmers with market access and ensure food security,” Damagum stated.
Governor Mai Mala Buni has also directed the development of a 500-kilometre network of rural roads and other infrastructure aimed at connecting all 178 wards in Yobe with viable access routes.
Damagum praised the governor for making Yobe a key participant in the RAAMP initiative, which focuses on rural development and agricultural prosperity. He noted that the project would accelerate the construction and rehabilitation of rural roads, facilitating seamless access to agricultural markets and supporting rural livelihoods.
The “Green Line” project is seen as a major step in the governor’s efforts to improve infrastructure, strengthen the state’s economy, and empower rural communities.
